General Question

Is he still contagious?

So – hubby had a scratchy throat on Monday, and was sick as a dog on Wednesday and Thursday with sore throat, coughing and no voice. Today he feels somewhat better and I need help with cooking since we are doing “Fake Christmas” today. Do you think he’s still contagious?

If it’s just a common cold, he’s getting past the contagious part, janbb, but he’s still contagious. The rule is 3 days coming, 3 days staying, 3 days going. He’s at the tail of the three days staying. He’s got another 24 hours left on the clock :(
Nice to see you!

rule of thumb is you caught that cold 2 or 3 days before starting to show symtoms ..
during that time you are contagious ... unlesss it was an extreame temp change that caused the cold rather than a virus .. he will still be “catchy for 2 to 3 days after showing symtoms .
